required. for melting a small pellet, and the heat is not wasted by being transmitted to a large pieeoof solder.

The pellet can be fed to the iron 13 without removing the iron from the metal which is beingsolde'red, and my improved iron can be used longer without reheating than would be the case otherwise.

Some changes may he made in the con struction and arrangement of the parts of my improved magazine soldering iron, with out departing from its essential features'and purposes, and it is my intention to cover by this application any such changes. which may be included within the sciope of my claims. i

I claim as my invention:

1. An improved soldering iron having a hollow shank, an iron on one end thereof having an opening communicating with the interior of said shank, and havlnga pas;

sa e leadin from said 0 enin 'to the exterior'of and iron, a controlling device comprising a pair of spring arms each having one end fixed with relation to said shank, said arms extending away from theirfixed ends and from the shank. in substantially adjacent parallel position, an inward egrtension on one of said. arms, a portion at the outer end of the other of said arms extending'laterally and thence past said shank,

pair of spring arms each having one end fixed with relation to said shank, said arms I; extending away from their fixed ends and from the shank in substantially adjacent parallel position, an inward extension on one of said arms, a portion at the outer end f the other of said arms extending latera y and thence past said shank, thence lat ally, and thence upwardly, said shank haw ing openings to receive said upwardly and downii'ardly extending portions, said upwardly and downwardly extending portions being spaced fronii each other longit-ndin-i-z if; of said shank, and a handle on said shank so arranged that the spring arms may be operated by the band grasping said handle.
